Trowa sighed watching the credits after the movie had finished as he looked at Usagi for the umpteenth time that night, she was fast asleep…he didn't want to wake her but she couldn't sleep here.
"Take her to bed Trowa." Quatre said drawing everyone's attention to them causing the man to blush just ever so slightly, they had caught her sleeping on his shoulder, at least he had pulled their hands apart when Quatre had turned so as not to be caught in such an intimate hold
"Yes." Trowa murmured as he slipped away but caught her before she fell to far picking her up into his arms and walking out, he took the time that he spent with her in the hall studying her and walking on autopilot, while of course warding off thought that had never before entered his head, and he hoped never did again, they were just wrong, not without her consent…even then he shouldn't be thinking that. She was changing him, and it worried him…but on a level, he was glad she was, he needed to change, being stuck to his ways would destroy him.
"Mmm…" Usagi murmured shifting in her sleep to rub against him causing Trowa to almost lose his hold, he had better hurry, she would wake soon if he didn't.

"Why don't I have her by my side yet?" Demando hissed as he glared down at Dorothy from his chair the blond not daring to peek at him
"I'm sorry."
"You wanted power…I am beginning to rethink our arrangement." He hissed making her growled quietly
"We have a plan in action my lord, she will be by your side at the end of this month."
"End of…so if I wait two weeks she will be mine? Fine, I will wait, but if she is not then by my side I will kill you understood."
"Understood my lord."

Usagi stared at the roof sleepily, when had she come here…her room…the room from back then, though the thought didn't hurt as much now, was being here in this place of memories dulling the pain? Or was she forgetting him? No…she didn't want to forget Mamoru…she couldn't forget her heart.
"USA! SAVE ME!" A voice called from outside her door making her groan and sit as Duo raced in the door slamming closed behind him as he dived under her bed
"Don't tell him" he hissed making her blink…what was going on?
"Usagi-san…may I come in?" Quatre's gentle voice called as she nodded before finding her voice
"Yes…come on in." she called watching the blond step in his eyes searching her room
"You haven't seen Duo have you? Seems he…pulled a prank on Wufei, and he's rather urgent to find him."
"To hurt him?" Usagi asked her resolve not to reveal the man's location strengthening
"I'm afraid so…but Duo does need to learn not to do such things, and this was a particularly cruel prank." Quatre said as Usagi slipped from the bed to stand before the other blond
"What did he do?"
"He put one of his daughter's used diapers on Wufei's chair in place of a whoopee cushion…Wufei sat on it…and…well…I think no more needs to be said…he was headed this way but if he's not here then I'll head on."
"Don't bother." Usagi deadpanned looking to her bed with a frown "He's hiding under there. Wufei has leave to do as he will…And after that I'll have a talk with him." Usagi said strolling out, she would change clothes later
"Usa you traitor!" Duo called after her but she was already in the hall Trowa stepping in behind her as he had been waiting outside her room
"I'm going to go outside." Usagi said to him and he nodded following her silently as he had for some time now, it was all he could do, protect her, watch her smile, then he was fulfilling his promise to that…dream, and to himself, he would cause her no more pain.

Usagi sat in the garden as night began to fall and Trowa touched her shoulder, it was getting cold he wanted to convey, they should head in.
"I'm coming." She replied gathering Hikari whom had joined her at around lunchtime. "Did I ever tell you Trowa…that I was engaged once?" Usagi said softly making him look at her sharply as they walked through the rose garden to get back to Relena's mansion, did she know?
"No, you didn't." Trowa murmured looking away as Usagi hugged Hikari closer and away from the chill evening air.
"He used to give me many roses…but then…I had to start giving them to him…every year on his birthday I give him one, because he can't give them to me anymore." Usagi whispered, she, who had once loved roses, now hated them, they were too near to his memories.
"Next time we'll take another route." Was all Trowa could find to say, what else could he say? I'm sorry, I killed him, forgive me, hit me, hate me…nothing he could say would ease her pain, the event had happened, and there was nothing he could do to change that, to bring back her light.
"I'm sorry Trowa, I get a little sentimental in rose gardens…please, don't tell the others ok? Duo and Quatre especially, they worry like old mother hens." Usagi sighed making him nod, indeed they did, hovering over her every second she would allow, he hovered, but didn't intrude, they intruded.
"I won't." he promised and she nodded juggling the baby as she hugged him, and for a brief moment all his pain washed away, all the guilt, all the regret, under her embrace, he was a normal man, with normal problems, and a normal life.
"Come on, let's get food. I'm starved." Usagi announced as Trowa reluctantly let her go, as much as he would have loved to hold her longer, he knew he could not, not with his bloodstained hands, she deserved so much more.

"I'm not forgetting him…I'm not replacing him…I'm just…I'm just…he…Trowa's just a friend…nothing more, I'll never stop loving you Mamoru…Trowa is a friend…and no one can replace you…" Usagi whispered as she curled herself up in the bed hugging her knees to her chest as she felt tears welling "Just a friend…so why…why do I care for you so much more then any of the others if you're all just friends? Why? Mamoru please…forgive me…I think…I think I'm falling in love with him…"

"01, you have permission to change targets, new orders are as follows, protect and guard Usagi Tsukino from all outside threats, find and destroy the organisation behind these incidents as quickly and quietly as possible. Confirm."
"Mission Accepted."
"Good, tell the other ex-pilots as well. Also, talk to Zechs about staying there, the location is more secure at the moment with the heightened security for Miss. Peacecraft."
"Understood." Heero grunted as he closed down the computer and went looking for his fellow pilots, they had a new mission.
